Tips for Applicants
- ✓Frame the interdisciplinary link explicitly, the Co-PI must come from a different ERC main scientific area, so justify the scientific rationale for combining the two fields.
- ✓Confirm the binding collaboration agreement with your Co-PI early, since the call requires this partnership to be formal, not advisory.
- ✓Budget for at least one PhD student or postdoc position, as this is a stated requirement, not an optional strengthening element.
